Okay, yeah, I made this with yellow squash, because that's what the garden gave me. It turned out good, but Tillie is right—it is better with zucchini. Tillie's Zucchini Casserole 2 lbs. zucchini, sliced (you don't have to peel it if you don't want (read full article)

Okay, there's a story behind this one. Casey's mom makes a beef stew with egg dumplings that she calls "knerts". It's not like the word "knife" where the "k" is silent, either; you pronounce the "k"....and the "n". "Ka-nerts." Got it? So, now tel (read full article)
